摘要:
天文学中的一个关键问题是类地岩石行星的普遍性如何。在我们的太阳系中,固态行星的形成受到短寿命放射性核素(SLRs)衰变热量的强烈影响,特别是铝-26,很可能来自附近的超新星。然而,当前模型在不破坏原太阳盘的情况下难以重现从陨石分析推断出的SLRs的丰度。我们提出了'浸入'机制,即超新星冲击波中的宇宙射线核合成在超新星距离(约1 pc)处重现估计的SLR丰度,从而保护盘结构。我们估计,恒星团中的太阳质量恒星通常至少经历一次这样的超新星在1 pc范围内,支持了这一场景的可行性。这表明太阳系样的SLR丰度和固态行星形成比之前认为的更为普遍。
英文摘要:
A key question in astronomy is how ubiquitous Earth-like rocky planets are. The formation of terrestrial planets in our solar system was strongly influenced by the radioactive decay heat of short-lived radionuclides (SLRs), particularly $^{26}$Al, likely delivered from nearby supernovae. However, current models struggle to reproduce the abundance of SLRs inferred from meteorite analysis without destroying the protosolar disk. We propose the `immersion' mechanism, where cosmic-ray nucleosynthesis in a supernova shockwave reproduces estimated SLR abundances at a supernova distance ($\sim$1 pc), preserving the disk. We estimate that solar-mass stars in star clusters typically experience at least one such supernova within 1 pc, supporting the feasibility of this scenario. This suggests solar-system-like SLR abundances and terrestrial planet formation are more common than previously thought.
